Charity Shop Volunteer

Come and join our team at our new Charity Shop that is opening soon in Hereford

If you want to gain new skills and rebuild your confidence, nothing beats our charity shops. As a volunteer you’ll be at the heart of helping stock the shop – whether you’re sorting through donations, on the shop floor helping with standards, or behind the scenes processing donations and helping with online sales alongside fellow team members.

This is a flexible retail assistant role where you can try different roles throughout the shop until you find your role, such as helping with online sales by valuing items, getting creative with shop displays or getting trained to serve customers on the till, to name but a few roles.

Our shop volunteers are essential to the running of our shops - we couldn’t do it without them. Whichever retail assistant role you choose to do, you’ll be part of a small team providing raising funds to help the Midlands Air Ambulance.
